I began my journey with Birth when I became a doula in 2003 and was blessed to be invited to support some of my closest friends. I was in awe of the strength and presence of women and their partners during the birth process. Each birth that I was part of gave me the courage to birth my own children – one at home in the water and one at the hospital.

The path of parenthood contains uncertainties that require faith, trust, and dedication – right from the beginning. H﻿aving someone to look to who ﻿can help with guidance and reassurance is such a relief. I hope to provide that relief and support to all the families who choose to invite me into their birth experience. It is an honour to share such a precious time in a family’s life.

I work with two other doulas, Natalie Portland and Darcy Wall, in providing support to families. I also teach Dancing For Birth™ classes. For more information about my services or classes, please visit my website: www.rainagardner.com
